    I'm leaning towards swapping out the Polks for ELAC B6.2s. There's a decent deal on a Yamaha R-S501 locally so checking that out later in the week.

    Dissatisfied with digital audio

    I didn't realize that all DACs also amplified the analog signal. With headphones, using the Mojo vs the DAC in my digital player was a huge difference but it that a function of the chipset or the amplifier in the Mojo?

    By stand alone DAC I mean a unit that is only a DAC vs DAC & preamp like the TubeMagic series. I tried a Chord Mojo in a local store a little while ago and the difference with headphones was remarkable. Assuming price is proportional to quality, the Mojo is a better DAC but does the extra...

    Is there any advantage to running a tube DAC vs a stand alone DAC running through a tube preamp or amplifier?

    That's definitely something I've looked at but haven't had the opportunity to test drive one. They're usually cheaper than a tube amp too!

    My digital source is about 60% CDs ripped to FLAC and about 40% 192kHz/24bit & 96kHz/24bit files. I'm looking to keep the upgrades to under $1K in the short term. The direct comparison will be the key...

    I left my only optical cable for the X3 at the office but am going to A/B tonight. I'm leaning towards the speakers or my ears... :)

    Dissatisfied with digital audio

    I run analog through a Project Debut>iPhono2>Yamaha R-S202>Tannoy Mercury 7.2 speakers at home and enjoy the sound. At work I'm running a Fiios X3>Topping D30>Yamaha R-S202>Polk Audio RTI A3 and it it sounds thin by comparison. The more I read about analog vs digital I'm wondering if the...
